Who said you can’t. I also ordered there but stopped doing because customs handling adds high fees now. I get charged a flat 10 EUR on top of every order and 20% VAT. Many online stores already charge me UK VAT first so I end up paying VAT twice and the refunding process is burdensome.

Lucky you. I’m a EU citizen and either in the UK for a few years. I’m not settled and I can’t go back. I would need a corporate visa sponsor and would end up coupled to said employer with no legal protections.
> They did so much better at vaccinating because the EU didn't screw things for them like for all the member nations etc.
Maybe. But right now we’re pretty even and the situation looks better in the EU. Definitely have more freedoms than my British friends right now.
I have yet to see something positive to come out of Brexit. Even the good vaccination program happened while EU rules were still in effect.

Why are you giving your opinion on what other people decide to do? > the situation looks better in the EU They can't even get their shit together to vaccinate their own people over there! Better off with the UK government as at least they can vaccinate me.
